Chapter 226 This is going to be interesting!

Yao Shula's eyes widened immediately after hearing Zhong Xiaochun say that Song Yuling's man had returned.

“Song Yuling’s man? The one from before! Wasn’t it said that he ran off with another woman? Why is he back now?” Yao Shula found it strange.

Zhong Xiaochun, however, was talking to Yao Shula while taking out his lunchbox and thermos.

"They must have been unable to make a living outside!"

Her husband ran away three years ago because the other woman quit her job and stopped driving the truck.

I used to drive a truck and travel around with a convoy, the profits were...

My mom said that Song Yuling used to have a good life, and her man's name was... Jiang Daqiao, yes, that's Jiang Daqiao!

Jiang Daqiao used to drive a truck outside, and every time he came back, he would bring back a lot of money and buy Song Yuling many good things that couldn't be bought in Yun County.

Think about it, truck drivers can make a lot of money no matter where they go.

Later, he hooked up with a woman outside the car fleet, and everyone in the fleet knew about it. After he drove the car back, he took the money from home, abandoned his wife and children, and ran away.

My dad had heard that someone had seen the bridge across the river in the provincial capital, and the person looked quite respectable, even carrying a briefcase!

This time I'm back... just you wait and see, I'm sure I'll cause a lot of trouble.

"Song Yuling is having a tough time now!" Zhong Xiaochun shook his head.

Yao Shula didn't understand what was going on at first, so Zhong Xiaochun quickly explained it to her in detail.

"You don't know, do you? Song Yuling was fired from the machinery factory because she refused to work there. She's not even a temporary worker anymore."

She's unwilling to endure hardship; if she wanted to stand up and live a decent life, she could fill her stomach by doing anything.

She refused and rented out the west room in the courtyard to a peddler who wholesaled tea snacks from a tea snack factory to sell.

After a while, he got involved with that vendor again.

Just last night, as soon as Jiang Daqiao returned, he beat up the vendor. I heard that the vendor ran away with his injured cart overnight.

According to the neighbors, they extorted eighty yuan from the vendor!

Think about it, even street vendors get ripped off, and your dad... stayed at Song Yuling's place for many days.

"Will Jiang Daqiao... let your dad go?" Zhong Xiaochun whispered.

Yao Shula immediately understood.

"They definitely won't let him go! Song Yuling's man even beat up small vendors and extorted money from them. Yao Guohua is now a piece of fat meat in his eyes."

Song Yuling's man will definitely not let him go...

"Wait a minute! Song Yuling and Yao Guohua did get a marriage certificate!" Yao Shula asked her question.

"What's a marriage certificate! Just get a letter of introduction from the factory. Song Yuling's husband hasn't come back for more than three years. Song Yuling said he died out there."

Then give the people handling the marriage certificate some candy and cigarettes... and you'll get the certificate, right?

Jiang Daqiao came back because he's after money. He's shameless and just wants to act like a scoundrel.

"If he makes such a fuss then... Yao Guohua will definitely have to bleed money out of him," Zhong Xiaochun said in a low voice.

Yao Shula nodded and lowered her voice as well.

"Does Grandma know about this?"

“I know! Grandma said she doesn’t care! It’s Yao Guohua’s own fault, let them deal with it themselves.”

Whether Yao Guohua was beaten outside or fired from the factory, it was all his own fault.

"If he hadn't caused so much trouble back then, and hadn't gotten involved with Song Yuling, would there be so much trouble now?" Zhong Xiaochun said immediately.

Yao Shula nodded. Okay, if Grandma says she doesn't care, then she really doesn't need to worry about it.

Who cares if it's Yao Guohua or Song Yuling? It's none of their business!

The worse they get, the better!

“Okay, Third Sister-in-law, I understand. I won’t interfere with Yao Guohua at all.” Yao Shula readily agreed.

Zhong Xiaochun nodded, and then started packing Yao Shula's things.

“My dad made mutton soup this morning. Take a pot back with you. You can make mutton soup noodles for breakfast tomorrow. It will keep you warm, even if it’s cold outside.”

I'll get you another piece of mutton; you can take it out and slice it when you get home.

And this, my dad just fried some meat chunks and tofu chunks yesterday. You can take them home and stew them together.

You can add some cabbage or radish, or anything like that.

Remember, stew them together. That way, the tofu chunks will also have a meaty flavor, which is also very delicious!

"I'll give you eight of each kind, and pack them in several lunchboxes. Just bring the lunchboxes back to me next time you come!" Zhong Xiaochun said, stuffing the food into the aluminum lunchboxes.

Yao Shula quickly stopped her.

Bringing back some mutton soup would be fine, why would you bring back chunks of meat and tofu?

Although meat isn't so hard to buy now, not every family can afford to eat meat every day...

"Third sister-in-law, that won't do. I'll just take some mutton soup back with me. I definitely can't bring this chunk of meat."

You run a restaurant, so you need to make money from this. Your profit margin isn't high to begin with, and your uncles and aunts are very honest, giving everyone large portions.

"I absolutely cannot accept this." Yao Shula firmly refused the meat chunks and tofu chunks.

Zhong Xiaochun immediately pulled Yao Shu's hand.

"Don't be so formal. This was prepared for you by my parents."

If you hadn't told me so much, I'd still be working at the factory earning less than forty yuan a month!

Besides, we're all family. If you really hold such a grudge against me, I'll feel embarrassed to visit you again.

Here you go! It's cold now, so it won't spoil. Keep it for dinner or tomorrow noon. I'll also pack some of your favorite seaweed strips for you.

Shuxin is a bit thin now, so she needs to eat more meat to help her get back to health.

Shuli and Tiantian also love to eat meat. I remember last time we ate at our house, Tiantian ate two big chunks of meat in one meal!

As Zhong Xiaochun spoke, he put the three aluminum lunch boxes into a nylon mesh bag and tightened the lid of the insulated container.

Yao Shula went back with a bucket of mutton soup and three lunch boxes.

As for Yao Guohua getting into trouble...

Hehe, she can watch this commotion while eating melon seeds and drinking hot tea.

...

After returning home, Yao Shula didn't say anything, neither about going to school nor about Yao Shuli and Yao Shuxin's impending misfortune.

We must not let these small things affect the children's studies.

That evening, Yao Shula had just finished having dinner with her younger siblings and tidied up when Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin arrived.

They also brought quite a lot of things with them.

"I'm sending you some New Year's gifts in advance!" said Lei Jingwu, who was wearing a leather jacket and leather gloves.
